Divide write in simplest form
13. 3/4 divided by 7/12=1 3/28
14. 9/10 divided by 9= 8 1/0
15. 2/3 divided by 5/8=1 1/5
16. 4 divided by 7/9=9/28
Ooops! None of these is correct.
13.
(3/4) * (12/7) = 36/28 = 1 8/28 = 1 2/7
14. 3/30
15. 1/15
16. 7/36
14. Simplify
15. Right
16. Wrong
14 1/10
16. 28/9=3 1/9
3/4 divided by 7/12 is the same as 3/4 X 12/7. This is the same as (3X12)/(4X7) which can first be reduced down to (3X3)/(1X7)= 9/7 or 1 and 2/7.

(4/1) * (9/7) =
To divide fractions, you need to follow a simple process. Here's how you can get the answers to the provided questions step by step:
13. To divide 3/4 by 7/12:
- You need to keep the first fraction (3/4) as it is.
- Then, flip the second fraction (7/12) to find its reciprocal, which is 12/7.
- Now, multiply the two fractions: (3/4) * (12/7).
- Simplify the resulting fraction: (3 * 12) / (4 * 7) = 36/28.
- Finally, simplify the fraction to its simplest form: 1 3/28.
14. To divide 9/10 by 9:
- You need to keep the first fraction (9/10) as it is.
- The second number, which is 9, can be written as 9/1 (since any number divided by 1 remains the same).
- Now, multiply the two fractions: (9/10) * (1/9).
- Simplify the resulting fraction: (9 * 1) / (10 * 9) = 1/10.
- However, this fraction is already in its simplest form.
15. To divide 2/3 by 5/8:
- You need to keep the first fraction (2/3) as it is.
- Flip the second fraction (5/8) to find its reciprocal, which is 8/5.
- Now, multiply the two fractions: (2/3) * (8/5).
- Simplify the resulting fraction: (2 * 8) / (3 * 5) = 16/15.
- Convert this improper fraction to a mixed number: 16 ÷ 15 = 1 remainder 1.
- Therefore, the simplest form is 1 1/5.
16. To divide 4 by 7/9:
- Convert the whole number (4) into a fraction with a denominator of 1, which becomes 4/1.
- Flip the second fraction (7/9) to find its reciprocal: 9/7.
- Now, multiply the two fractions: (4/1) * (9/7).
- Simplify the resulting fraction: (4 * 9) / (1 * 7) = 36/7.
- This fraction is already simplified and cannot be expressed as a whole number quotient.
